Nickel (Ni) is essential for plant metabolism but dangerous to most plants and other organisms when present in large concentrations. In this study, nickel was chosen as an important environmental pollutant toxic substance due its widespread availability, high persistence, causing soil pollution serious problems. The main aim of the study determine Ni content various wheat varieties grown water regimes (sewage water, groundwater industrial water) Punjab, Pakistan. concentrations were...

This study examines the effects of municipal solid waste (MSW) amendments on molybdenum (Mo) concentrations in both soil and vegetables two growing years. Three MSW treatments were tested, i.e., 25% + 75% garden (T1), 50% (T2), (T3), with a control treatment 100% (T0). Fifteen vegetable species cultivated to evaluate Mo uptake bioaccumulation. The Pollution Load Index (PLI) Bioaccumulation Factor (BCF) values confirmed impact accumulation vegetables, Allium cepa Mentha arvensis showing...

Levels of Mo, As, Se, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb were determined in a vegetable commonly consumed Pakistan. Samples collected from three different sites (Ratokala, Phularwan, Mailowal) supplied with water sources. Mo As C. sativum higher than the suggested standards at international level. Lower bioconcentration factor pollution load index seen Site-I other sites. A positive association was found between rhizosphere metals those all Enrichment ranged 0.28 to 10.39. The highest value daily intake...

In South Asia, the high costs of synthetic fertilizers have imposed research on alternative nutrient inputs. We aimed to identify potential trace elements (PTE) present in some organic manure that might be a source environmental pollutions and risk public health following consumption. The study aims evaluate how different waste (poultry waste, PW; press mud, PM; farmyard manure, FYM) influences heavy metal migration soil, accumulation garlic, their risks. Organic caused higher certain metals...

Cobalt metal is considered as an essential trace element for the animals. Present investigation was undertaken in peri-urban area to analyze cobalt availability animal food chain by using different indices. Cow, buffalo and sheep samples along with forage soil were collected from three sites of District Jhang analyzed through atomic absorption spectrophotometer. values differed 0.315-0.535 mg/kg, forages 0.127-0.333 mg/kg 0.364-0.504 mg/kg. Analyzed concentration soil, found be deficient...

The primary objective of this study was to determine the heavy metal contents in water-soil-coriander samples an industrial wastewater irrigated area and assess health risks these metals consumers. Sampling done from areas adjoining Chistian sugar mill district Sargodha two separate sites with groundwater (Site 1), effluents 2) were checked for possible contamination. continuum tested presence cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc...
